Author: Hector Rodriguez

Catrina’s Caravan is a horror anthology series featuring stories by the best Latinx writers of horror as told by Catrina, a suspicious harbinger of darkness on the run from a violent priest. Leading a caravan of misfits and marginalized folks, Catrina goes from town to town, one step ahead of her rival, giving the local residents gruesome lessons they will never forget through the mechanism of immersive storytelling. The frame of each story reveals a little more about the past and twisted mission of this mysterious, gaunt and seemingly unaging figure.

In three harrowing tales by Latine authors, we peer into the dark corners of the modern world and witness a horrifying, winged retribution for those who abuse refugees at the border. We join an overwhelmed mother on a Chicago subway just in time to see her lucha-libre-obsessed child be tempted by a demon, and we watch as an ancient yet beautiful predator in southern Mexico sates her hunger with the flesh of crude tourists. While crafted in the tradition of great horror anthology comics, this spine-tingling new series taps into the particular darkness of Latino cultures, drawing forth a rich fount of horror with textures and nuance that will reward readers in the know and make fans of those who don’t.

Author: Patrick Horvath

Live, laugh, shed blood. Dexter meets Richard Scarry’s Busy, Busy Town in this twisted debut graphic novel!

Don’t. Murder. The locals.

This is small-town serial killer, upstanding citizen, and adorable brown bear Samantha Strong’s cardinal rule. After all, there’s a sea of perfectly ripe potential victims in the big city just beyond the forest, and when you’ve worked as hard as Sam to build a cozy life and a thriving business in a community surrounded by friendly fellow animal folk, warm decor, and the aroma of cedar trees and freshly baked apple pie…the last thing you want is to disturb the peace.

So you can imagine her indignation when one of Woodbrook’s own meets a grisly, mysterious demise—and you wouldn’t blame her for doing anything it takes to hunt down her rival before the town self-destructs and Sheriff Patterson starts (literally) barking up the wrong tree.

Cute critters aren’t immune to crime in this original graphic novel debut by writer-artist Patrick Horvath.

A Cosmic Tale of Love and Destruction

This Kaiju-inspired illustrated work tells the epic story of the World Wolf, his limitless love for his mate and the boundless destruction that is caused when something comes between them. A primordial entity, the World Wolf is feared. Misunderstood. Underestimated. And now humanity has pissed him off. The scope of the doom unleashed is too much to comprehend.

Through this fine-art graphic novel Archer takes the next step in the evolution of visual dark fantasy storytelling. As experimental as it is confrontational Red in Tooth and Claw documents a wolf spirit’s journey from creative force to avatar of destruction. Or, as Peter Watts writes in the forward, “It is jagged and it is lyrical, it is beautiful and it is grotesque. It is horrifc and cuddly. There are Larsonesque scribbles, and oils so deep you get lost in the hues….There is first person omniscience, an immortal being watching evolution unfold in real time. There is poetry. This is entropy and singularity and Big Bang rendered as myth, as supernatural entities.”

Writer and artist Steven Archer, renowned for his illustrated adaption of Masque of the Red Death (Bram Stoker Award Finalist 2020), Luna Maris, and Red King, Black Rook, brings his unique combination of industrial music aesthetic and classical painting to the realm of sequential art in this visual rampage of a book.

David “The Rock” Nelson Collection : Vol. 1 Available July 30

#horror – #horrormovies – #DavidTheRockNelsonCollection – #SaturnsCore –

Dubbed “The Ed Wood of the 21st Century,” Des Plaines, Illinois-based former marine and Golden Gloves boxer turned gonzo filmmaker David “The Rock” Nelson has been churning out his bizarre and mesmerizing brand of backyard monster movies for over 30 years. Often playing multiple onscreen roles simultaneously while utilizing local friends, his parents, and his girlfriend Janet Okulanis as his co-stars, “The Rock” has amassed a robust SOV filmography and persevered undaunted in the face of nonexistent funds, unfavorable reviews, and outdated video equipment. Nelson’s work represents a singular viewing experience like no other: landing somewhere between the earnest monster romps of Paul Naschy and the eccentric video diaries of George Kuchar, where the filmmakers’ real life day-to-day activities and interactions sometimes outweigh the forwarding of the narrative. Equipped with dime store rubber fright masks and his camcorder, David “The Rock” Nelson has unapologetically crafted a legacy that remains an inspirational testament to the spirit of fulfilling your cinematic dreams at any cost.

In 1994, the same year that Tim Burton unleashed his Academy Award winning Ed Wood biopic, underground filmmaker David “The Rock” Nelson traveled to Baltimore to direct one of Wood’s chief collaborators Conrad Brooks (Plan 9 from Outer Space, Glen or Glenda, The Sinister Urge) in a backyard epic for the ages. When the local graveyard’s mild-mannered caretaker (Nelson) transforms into a werewolf in broad daylight, it’s up to Conrad and his real life, geriatric brothers Henry & Ted Brooks to vanquish the beast using plastic uzis, fisticuffs, and a Hyundai Excel! Saturn’s Core is proud to present its first (of several) David “The Rock” Nelson collections highlighting the ‘90s fanzine staple Conrad Brooks vs. Werewolf accompanied by Son of Werewolf & Adventures of Janet (two additional brain-smashing, monstercentric shorts hand picked by The Rock), a 28-page booklet, and nearly four stinkin’ hours of Rock related special features!
